Sven-Goran Eriksson is ready to summon up to five members of Chelsea's new-look line-up into his England squad for next week's friendly against Croatia.

Frank Lampard and Wayne Bridge are already regulars in the England coach's plans but he may also turn to teenage defender Glen Johnson for the first time, along with Joe Cole and John Terry.

While one of that trio could be left out on this occasion, they all impressed Eriksson's right-hand man, Tord Grip, during Chelsea's Champions League qualifier in Slovakia in midweek.

Eriksson himself will see Chelsea in action at Liverpool tomorrow, although he picks his latest squad tonight after the first round of Premiership games.

That gives him little chance to assess how fresh any of his players are, although he did attend Aston Villa's friendly against Leeds last weekend, and Newcastle's Champions League tie. Ahead of naming his squad, the Swede will be at Highbury but may not get the chance to see Wayne Rooney and it is understood that the teenager will be left out of this squad unless he proves his fitness in that game.

Everton boss David Moyes revealed that his striker, who is recovering from a knee injury, would be in the squad at Highbury but may not be involved in the match

"Wayne has done a bit of training this week but he's not match-fit. He's only played a couple of games so it would be unfair to expect him to come on and be a match-winner."

Eriksson has a major doubt over Darius Vassell, who is ruled out of Villa's trip to Portsmouth with an ankle injury.

That could leave him with a selection dilemma up front, with Alan Smith, Francis Jeffers and maybe Jermaine Defoe contesting the remaining places along with Michael Owen, Emile Heskey and James Beattie.

Eriksson is definitely without Gary Neville and Wes Brown, opening the path to Johnson's possible first call-up after just two Under-21 caps.

The Swede also has to decide between Terry, Newcastle's Jonathan Woodgate, Middlesbrough skipper Gareth Southgate and Matthew Upson in central defence, along with Rio Ferdinand and Sol Campbell.

Captain David Beckham is, meanwhile, set to feature in the squad, heralding his first return to play in England since his move to Real Madrid earlier this summer.
